It just sucks you in, makes you feel totally immersed, and you can’t stop playing. It’s tough, yeah, but that challenge is so rewarding, almost addictive. It’s a risky design, but when it pays off, it really pays off.
Wow, the Elbaf arc of One Piece is just blowing my mind! It’s become so clear that Imu is the key player here. I honestly didn’t expect Oda to reveal Imu as the big bad of this arc, and to find out he was pulling the strings at the God Valley Incident too? Incredible! It turns out Roger, Rocks, and all those pirate crews united to fight him – the biggest threat anyone had ever seen. But even though they managed to defeat Rocks, thanks to Domi Reversi, it wasn’t enough. Imu is still out there, and the core problem remains unsolved. It’s setting up to be something huge!

January 2026 looks like it will be a great month for Animal Crossing: New Horizons players, including me!

Event Pokémon have been a part of the Pokémon series since the beginning, but how players get them has changed a lot over time. In the past, special events at stores or larger gatherings were how players received unique Legendary and Mythical Pokémon.

Recently, one Pokémon fan discovered a piece of the older distribution method – a surprising find from the series’ history.
As you explore Lumiose City in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, you’ll find clusters of pink and purple Mega Crystals growing on the ground and buildings.

According to 13th Street Studio CEO Ernest Anpilov, the game has been in development since mid-2021.
Players are constantly discovering new and inventive ways to find shiny Pokémon. One recent technique allows players to collect up to six Alpha Pokémon in Wild Zone 20 and then repeatedly reset the game to increase their chances of finding a shiny. This method is in addition to others, like the ‘ghost walk method’ which requires a special turbo controller and only works in the same area.
